Electronic devices with light-emitting fabrics

Abstract

A head-mounted device may include a housing with a display that displays images that are viewable from an eye box. A light seal may be coupled the housing and may block outside light from reaching the eye box. The light seal may include a light-emitting fabric. The light-emitting fabric may include light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes and/or light guides that produce visual output on the light seal and/or on other portions of the head-mounted device. The visual output may be coordinated with images on the display. Light guides may have light-scattering structures that allow light to escape from the light guides and thereby form illuminated regions on the light-emitting fabric. The light-scattering structures may be aligned with openings in the fabric. Light-emitting diodes may be mounted to the fabric or may emit light through openings in the fabric.
